Book Excerpt

The Confidant Tells

I want a divorce. You can have the house, one of the vehicles and all of the children. If I only knew ten years ago what I know now, I would have probably saved myself a whole lot of heartache. However, if I turn back the hands of time then I would not have my beautiful children, learned more about myself, and gained the wisdom necessary to raise children on my own. I did not see my life falling apart before my very eyes as an option in my future.
